Uncovering vein patterns from color skin images for personal identification in forensic investigation by Tang, Chaoying

“…Using these images as evidence in legal cases (e.g. child sexual abuse, child pornography and masked gunmen) can be very challenging, because the faces of criminals or victims are not visible. Although large skin marks and tattoos have been used, they are ineffective in some legal cases, because the skin exposed in evidence images have neither unique tattoos nor enough skin marks for identification. …”

Development of pigmented human skin constructs via 3D drop-on-demand bioprinting by Ng, Wei Long

“…The 3D hierarchical porous collagen-fibroblast matrices serve as the dermal skin constructs for patterning of EMUs. Lastly, the feasibility of fabricating pigmented human skin constructs with uniform skin pigmentation (using 3 different skin cells from 3 different skin donors) is demonstrated. …”

Experimental observation of optical Weyl points and Fermi arc-like surface states by Chong, Yi Dong, Chen, Kevin P., Rechtsman, Mikael C., Noh, Jiho, Huang, Sheng, Leykam, Daniel

“…We use a 3D structure consisting of laser-written waveguides, and show the presence of type-II Weyl points by observing conical diffraction along one axis when the frequency is tuned to the Weyl point; and observing the associated Fermi arc-like surface states. The realization of Weyl points at optical frequencies allows these novel electromagnetic modes to be further explored in the context of linear, nonlinear, and quantum optics.…”
